4 CURIOUS CASE.
A whole Family Made Violently
Sick.

rConespondcace Of the Richmond Dispaich.l
SALEM, July 10, 1887
There is case here which nonpluses
the doctors. On Saturday night the
physicians were peremptorily sum
moned to the residence of Mr.. Walden.
On their arrival there they found Mr.;
and Mrs. Walden and six children all
hut suffering the torments of the
damned and exhibiting every evidence
of poison. After persistent and skiltnl
work on the part OF the doctors the en-
tire family was relieved. Then
the question arose, How did ithappen =?
Ice-cream was first suggested, but 1t
turned out that some of the cream was
sent to q next-door neishbor, who sui
fered no bad effects from the eating.
The ice.cream theory being exploded,
and the fact that the Waldens do their
own work, has puzzled the doctors, and
they are now at sea as to the cause.
